Halloween Mantel and a Linky Party…

‘They’ say there is always a first for everything and well, this is definitely a first for me…my first ever Halloween mantel.

Because I didn’t have any Halloween specific items at home, I decided to hit the Dollar Store and use newly purchased items in combination with those I already had on hand. I ended up spending less than $10.00.

Given it’s my first, I kind of like how it turned out…

Having said that, I created the mantel, took some photos and put it back to look like this…

Hubby didn’t even get a chance to see it and the kiddies expressed disappointment as to them, the Halloween mantel was ‘way cooler’.

An old frame I had at home that I decided not to dust…for added effect of course 😉 and Dollar Store crows waiting for their friend to escape from the metal cloche…

Well there you have it, my first ever Halloween mantel…how did I do?

Now to our month long Party. You’re invited to link up any Halloween related projects to inspire and be inspired. I can’t wait to see what you all come up with.

your eye for styling a mantel is beyond fantastic! I love this and cannot believe you took it down;)!! and I wish my dollar store had those crows. maybe i should check again to be sure. seriously, fabulous!

LOVE the mantel! I love that the dollar store carries crows since they can cost 7-14 bucks at Michaels, depending on the size. Great job! I am also putting together my first Halloween mantle this year… We’ll see how it turns out!

I love your mantel it is fabulous, the empty frames and draped fabric is just the right touch. Great Job. I decided to go Black and White throughout my house this Halloween. I can’t wait to wrap up my decorating and post some pictures. I will be joining your Linky party soon.Thanks for sharing,Kathy

Oh Lucy…you once again succeeded. I am so not a Halloween decor fan, but you have created for sure the classiest mantle display for this Holiday that I have ever seen before. A++++++You never cease to amaze m. Great job!Gretchen
